WSU\u2019s Pituitary Team Leading the Nation in Pituitary Surgical Treatment<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

Anna, a 10-year-old chestnut colored boxer with dark brown ears and a white patch on her chest, had always been a healthy and active dog. But in the spring of 2014, her owner, Sundays Hunt of Salt Lake City, Utah, noticed Anna grew lethargic and was less interested in playing with the other two dogs. She was also eating all the time. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView WSU\u2019s Pituitary Team Leading the Nation in Pituitary Surgical Treatment<\/a>\n<\/article>

\n\t\t

Like many veterinary students in their final year of school, Kirsten Ronngren (\u201915 DVM) was eager to get more surgical experience before graduation. So when she got the opportunity to spend two weeks at Seattle Humane as one of her fourth-year rotations, she jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Shelter Training Better Prepares Veterinary Students<\/a>\n<\/article>

Floricel Gonzalez (\u201916 BS) was attending the School of Molecular Biosciences scholarship awards ceremony holding a letter in her hand. She knew she\u2019d received a scholarship, but didn\u2019t yet know which one. Carefully opening the letter, she read the name: The Elizabeth R. Hall Endowment Scholarship. \u201cMy jaw dropped,\u201d says Gonzalez. The prestigious award, given to promising students in medical microbiology, was $4,000. \u201cIt was a breath of fresh air that I don\u2019t have to worry about tuition or books for my last year.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Scholarship Helps Make Dreams a Reality<\/a>\n<\/article>

Pet Memorial Program: Offering compassion to grieving pet owners<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

In March we proudly launched a new and improved Pet Memorial Program website so it would be even easier to express sympathy and compassion to grieving pet owners by memorializing a pet and submitting a story. Over the last 20 years, tens of thousands of beloved animals have been memorialized by donations made in their names from pet owners, family members, friends, and veterinarians. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Pet Memorial Program: Offering compassion to grieving pet owners<\/a>\n<\/article>

Message from the Dean<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t
\n\t\t

Challenges. We all have them. Often when we hear the word \u201cchallenge\u201d we think of a difficult obstacle in our lives to be overcome. But for us in your College of Veterinary Medicine at WSU, we prefer to apply the magic of alchemy to turn challenges into opportunities.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Message from the Dean<\/a>\n<\/article>
